MB 550 Pan Tension Adjustment

I am a huge MB 550 fan. They are an excellent trap out of the box and need little adjustment, but one thing that I realized in getting my gear ready for the upcoming season was that some of my traps had a higher pan tension than I wanted. They are supposed to come at about two and half pounds of pan tension, some of my traps were maxing out my 4 pound tester. You can bend the dog to reduce the pan tension, but you can also file the dog, which is what I show in this video. To learn more about trapping be sure to visit www.coyotetrappingschool.com
